One time a woman came up to talk to me before an anti-trans hearing because she thought I was a trans man. She specifically said my “feminine beauty” was being “ruined.” The look on her face after I explained I was a trans woman was simultaneously satisfying and disturbing.

1. During a visit to lobby legislators on transgender issues, Senator Cardin Summers (R), author of the state's bathroom ban bill, knelt down and told a child he would protect her. What he didn't realize, however, is that child was trans. Subscribe to support my work.

Putting aside from the fact that this is a completely insane reaction to learning details about a child’s death… I don’t think a child being bullied until they commit suicide is something you should be proud of causing either Chaya.

Jesse is lying to his audience about my healthcare. He’s using an excerpt from an interview my mother and I did to imply I was fast-tracked into transition, AND accusing TranslashMedia of misrepresenting the SOC by conflating a REFERRAL to a clinic with APPROVAL for HRT.

Satisfying, because I defied her prejudiced expectations of what a trans woman looked like. Disturbing, because in the blink of an eye I stopped being human to her. She went from seeing me as worth protecting (in her own twisted way.) to seeing me as a predator.

I think the senator that ran away from this kid had the same experience. He felt like the young girl standing in front of him was worth ‘protecting’ based on a superficial and prejudiced idea of trans people. When confronted with reality, he had no choice but to avert his eyes.

Both points are false. First, Singal implies Translash supports prescribing HRT after a ten-minute meeting. This is obviously untrue. The text he screenshotted says listening to trans youth when they assert themselves is the accepted standard… which is what my doctor did.

If you want to watch a bunch of queers demolishing transphobic legislation then I highly suggest you tune in to the livestream of the committee meeting about HB 454. The bill aims to ban all transition care for minors. We are fighting it.

@ErinInTheMorn In a conversation with a legislator about Keira Bell I asked. "If Keira is a tragedy, why isn't what happened to me also a tragedy?" I could write an essay between the relationship between detransition narratives and the evangelical movements obsession with rebirth and purity.

Two deliberate misrepresentations from representative Click: 1. Dr. Rhea Debussy is a PhD. Not an MD. She has never practiced as a physician in any capacity, let alone as a surgeon. 2. Equitas Health is not one of the pediatric gender clinics that HB 68 would shut down.

Transphobes are going to ignore everything they’ve said previously about “contagion” conspiracies and claim this is evidence that they are winning the battle against “gender ideology”.

@heterodorx Love that you're advocating for stopping kids from using nicknames and wearing pink sweaters now. I went by Cam long before I came out as trans, and no one asked my parents if it was OK that I wore something "girly". It's all about perspective.

@jack_turban Long story short, the publisher of the New York Times has decided that they need to change their brand to be less "liberal", and trans rights are one of the issues they are throwing under the bus to make it happen.

Ohio is in the middle of dealing with the fallout from conservatives passing a ban on gender-affirming care for minors, and reeling from proposed restrictions on adult gender-affirming care as well. Now Republicans are trying to pass a bathroom ban too. We just want to live.

Let's be real: @jessesingal isn't upset because he got called out for fomenting disinfo (that happens all the time). It's because @translashmedia have revealed the structural incentives that make it profitable for him to launder these conspiracy theories to a moderate audience.

We have consistently asked republicans how they expect to enforce bathroom bans… well it looks like we know the answer now. The weaponization of CPS against people of color is a well understood phenomenon. I’m not surprised to see this as their next frontier against trans youth

🚨 Kentucky has introduced a bill that would REMOVE TRANS KIDS from their home if they don't follow the state's school bathroom ban and charge their parents with NEGLECT. This builds upon a bill passed last year that requires schools to ban trans students from bathrooms.

The way that they take Reed's claim of having identified 16 'detransitioners' at face value. Then just gloss over the fact they could only talk to one, and it was a much more complex situation than Reed claimed.

During the final house floor debate over a gender-affirming care ban, an Ohio State Representative attempted to read into the record a list of medical organizations that oppose banning care for trans youth. The Republicans cut him off and passed the bill before he could finish.

I was utterly shocked at the horrific behavior of committee members towards trans rights advocates today. The behavior from Chair Lipps was arrogant and unconscionable. His attitude was dismissive and abusive the entire day towards mothers, fathers, doctors, and detransitioners.

Anti-trans folks act like all detransitioners are rejected by the LGBT community… and then reject the existence of any detransitioners who don’t want to hurt trans people. It’s hypocritical and proves that their primary goal is to hurt trans people.
